really, it's the people...

    The cruets were tipped over, and it was never a good idea to taste the spilt mixture.
    These days have seen so many changes around me, to start with, chen guo qing, one of my former colleagues, left his position in june. he always smiles, and never was seen angry at anyone except once when he did lose his temper to the bomber who must had done some god-forbidden evil to him. he was so furious that a strech of redness appeared both on his face and his neck, where the blood vessels were about to explode. he is actually a nice fellow of medium height, with a sturdy figure that is mostly associated with an image of a marriaged man. he is quailified as good-looking and attractive, i guess, for when i first came and worked arcoss from him, i almost had a crush on him. of course he is more than that, he is a walking encyclopedia to me, and always has answers to my difficult questions. he could be counted as a gentle man, and is always there, happy to lend you a hand when you desperately need it. he has left his footprint across China. he loves snacks like a girl, oreo biscuit, yoghourt, peanut, and all kinds of nuts. it took him one year and a half to battle his way out of being lost in the comfort despite of low payment and finally became a civil servant which promises him not only comfort but also higher payment with abandunt welfare. it was his perseverance rather his dream that brought him to where he is now. well, i will remember him as a legend.
    Three months later, I left the workplace I loved so much in September to pursuit postgraduate degree. well, I don’t know whether I did wish to spend my ambitious twenties there, but I do know how I wished that I didn’t have to leave especially when I knew I had to. I had memories there, bitter or sweet, and I loved everything that formed them.(to be continued)
